Some members of the Osun State Executive Committee of the All Progressives Congress, APC, have rejected the not too long ago launched record of the celebration’s Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, demanding a direct evaluation of its composition.

The celebration officers expressed dissatisfaction with the record, saying it didn’t adequately mirror established celebration pointers, due course of and the precept of inclusiveness required in constituting such an essential marketing campaign construction.

The place was contained in an official rejoinder signed by the State Publicity Secretary, Wole Adunola; Assistant Organising Secretary, Rasheed Adeniji, and Ex-Officio, Abiola Ololade.

Declaring their place, the signatories acknowledged, “We, therefore, reject the list in its present form. We cite the omission of several members of the State Working Committee who were expected to be statutory members of the council.

“The exclusion of the recognised party officials raises serious concerns about consultation, due process, and respect for the party’s established leadership structure.”

The signatories also questioned the composition of the newly released council, adding that it appeared inconsistent with an earlier presidential directive reportedly naming Governor Ademola Adeleke as Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Council in Osun State.

According to the statement, “following the directive, Governor Adeleke promptly inaugurated a broad-based campaign team to drive the presidential campaign across the state.”

The officials questioned why another structure had emerged without adequate clarification or alignment with the existing arrangement, adding that the new list would be more understandable if it was intended for a Parliamentary Campaign Council rather than the Presidential Campaign Council.
